Jeff Lanier, a 2006 graduate of Waynesboro Area Senior High School, has introduced a project in New York City he thought readers would be interested in.

"I advise engineers and producers at an audio engineering school here. I have just launched my own online show and website entitled Label Recruit. Aspiring artists get the opportunity to audition for label executives at a famous studio here in New York, called Stadiumred. I oversee production and arrangement of the show."

Jeff attended Drexel University in Philadelphia majoring in music industry and earned an MBA from Liberty University. He has worked as a talent scout for Roadrunner Records (the label for Nickelback, Slipknot, Stone Sour and Korn, etc.).
